A minimum that makes sense
A minimum cart subtotal can support an order policy where very small baskets are impractical to fulfill. For example, a store might set a $100 order minimum and explain the remaining amount before checkout.
Shopify cart value limits
Set an order range
that fits your store.
Set minimum and maximum cart subtotals to guide order size and define which carts can proceed through supported checkout validation.
An upper boundary for a single order
A maximum cart subtotal sets an upper limit for one cart. It applies to the current order; it does not cap a shopper’s spending across multiple orders.
Clear messages at the right moment
Use a concise message that states the requirement and next step. Add Cart Progress on a compatible cart surface to help shoppers understand progress toward the applicable goal.
Test the boundary, not just a typical cart
Check below, at, and above the threshold. Confirm the subtotal behavior with your store’s discounts, currencies, and checkout configuration before publishing.
Know what happens at checkout
Guidance and validation
